Becton Dickinson & Company is recalling approximately 204,000 units of 10mL Non-Sterile BD Luer-Lok Tip Syringes because some Luer Slip syringes were incorrectly included in the packaging. Luer Slip syringes have a friction-fit tip that can pull apart under pressure, unlike the Luer-Lok design which is intended to screw onto a connection for a more secure fit. These non-sterile syringes were distributed in California and Texas between January and March 2026.
The use of a friction-fit Luer Slip syringe in a procedure requiring a secure Luer-Lok connection could lead to the unintended disconnection of medical tubing or needles. This could cause medication leakage or delay in treatment, potentially resulting in patient harm depending on the clinical application.
Bulk packaging error where Luer Slip syringes were included in Luer Lok batch.
